This multi-scale geologic map service is a partial representation of the digital data for the Geologic Map of North America. Geologic units and faults, clipped to the terrestrial extent of North America, are represented here. The major divisions of geologic time (stratigraphic age) are represented with the RGB equivalent of the CMYK color specifications presented in the FGDC Digital Cartographic

This map uses The National Map base map from the USGS to shows the Soil Survey Geographic (SSURGO) by the United States Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service. It also shows data that was developed by the National Cooperative Soil Survey and supersedes the State Soil Geographic (STATSGO) dataset published in 1994. SSURGO digitizing duplicates the original soil survey maps.

Abstract: Because GIS administrators need to build web mapping applications without writing code, re-usable components were developed: a Server Object Extension (SOE) and an add-in for Esri's Viewer for Silverlight. Without writing any code, a mapservice was configured to serve NHD information from the National Atlas, and extended with the SOE for tracing capabilities. Using the Builder tool, a web map app was built

The TNM Viewer uses a GeoServices REST Specification that ESRI submitted to the OWF. Its a nice beginning standard to a JSON-Version like the OGC Web Context Profile in XML.
In any case, since lots of viewers like Google Earth, Open Layers, Google Maps, Bing, and many ESRI Viewers reads KML, but not the JSON GeoServices Spec standard (yet), it may be easier to share the JSON Mashup as KML.
The following demo takes a

Create Core Capabilities to Port Context Configurations in TNM Viewer to MXD
First the TNM Viewer would need port the services setup and/or turned on (users choice) to JSON – users setup already in the configuration, as well as the user added content. TNM Team recently did this for another service, so the effort to make this a module to be used in this case should be minimized
Then the Port capability would read that

In response to dangerous flood levels near the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) activated the Birds Point-New Madrid floodway at 10:03 pm on May 2, 2011 by detonating explosives along a stretch of the Mississippi River levee just downstream of Cairo, Illinois. The resulting inflow of water into the 130,000
